ℑ “Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not less.” ACIM 21-1 ℑ
A paradigm, a way of viewing, cannot be the reality but a fragment of reality. Reality is not a way of viewing. It simply is. Duality is the paradigm by which we affirm something through its negation or absence: we affirm health through sickness, power through inability or incapacity, truth through lie, value or worth through naught, etc.
